because not everyone's computer not even GAMING computers can handle an open world?
Do you have source to verify this carried over myth through out the years that's been proven time and time open world is partially the problem of not handling the open world. Especially when such words usually come from people who run TS4 on toasters and can't tell whether their "gaming" rig is 64bit or lower.
Sims 3 was a big huge resource hog and if you added mods that were resource hogs to make the game run better it didn’t help. My game can run TS3 but it renders slowly and the its not the best experience. That was caused by open worlds.
Ive run more demanding Open world games before on my gaming laptops and play on the highest settings. Open world games CAN be optimized and run well. It just has to be managed correctly.
What exactly , is your own vision for sims 5 because it sounds like you would like a remake of Sims 4. Which literally doesnt benefit anyone at all. Not even EA.
The Sims 3 is in no way optimized good is my point so you can sit there and say you have ran games with open worlds all you want. We are talking about the Sims 3 and the game has more problems then its worth playing. In no way am I a newbie to the game either but the appeal of Sims 4 was that it was different from the Sims 3 and if it was open world again I probably wouldn't have moved on to it.

Personally I don’t need to be able to play each and every detail in the game to call it a life simulation game. It’s a game, not life. That mainly applies to rabbitholes like careers and school though. Making restaurants and shops and prom and an ocean a rabbithole is something else, those need to be open. Movie theatres? Meh, I don’t really see the fun in watching a room full of sims sittig in a chair watching a screen. My sims hardly ever watch tv either.
I do agree with the part in this discussion however that advocates the game needing a good computer. I want the game to be as complex and in depth as possible, I do want that open world and I want to be able to customize as much as possible. I’ll never understand why for other games that’s not a problem, but as a simmer I’m supposed to be ‘casual’ and not care about that. I do.
For me, I do need to be able to see every detail. Having everything OPEN makes it seem less fake. Yes, at the end of the day its a game. That does not mean it should not be a good game or a convincing game. Its comments like the ones there, that make this game NOT do more than the absolute minimum . If they think most of their fans dont care about cutting edge features, like seamless gameplay and realistic graphics and immersive gameplay, then why should they provide it?
To be honest, other games look better and are more impressive because the fans of those games would never go for anything less. They want cutting edge graphics and they want stunning gameplay. Sims fans are all "I want a game that can run on my weak computer." They are probably the only fan base of people who dont want to push the boundaries and see what this "Life simulation" idea can truly be.
And if thats the case. If Im asking too much from this fanbase. And Maxis listens to them and makes Sims 5 another rehash and it seems outdated and behind the times in comparison to other popular video games when its released, then I just won't play or partake in this community anymore. Because it seems like any requests for this series to BE more and DO more than it has before is met with resistance. Or a sense of why do we need this fancy feature, or all that high falluting 'nonsense'? we dont care about that, we just want a simple, cartoony game, with closed off environments! :|
What if I don't want another cartoony Sims game, that looks like a child's dollhouse? What if I want a more contemporary Simming experience?
I’m sorry if you want less cartoony sims then play Second Life. I don’t want realistic looking sims that to me isn’t what the game is or ever has been. It’s cartoony hilarious sims that do crazy things you would never see in real life that is the appeal.
This argument makes little sense. The game before looked cartoony and had less satisfying gameplay because of technology. But as technology advances, so should video games. There is literally no reason to be stuck in the past. Video games are better when they are innovative, not STALE @pepperjax1230 And as someone who is by no means new to the sims, Im not sorry for wanting advancements. You might be fine with having 5 expensive versions of the same game with no improvements or growth visually and otherwise ,but I am not.
My point is that if you want the sims themselves to look realistic they never will. Do you really want to look at realistic looking sims and watch them age? I am sorry I rather have cartoony sims any day. So I was saying if you want realistic looking people in a game play Second Life. They don't have to change the sims like that the game is meant to be cartoony and fun to play.
"Fun to play". And not only are many, many games with realistic looking characters fun to play, most gamers prefer more realistic graphics. So I strongly disagree that The Sims needs that. I played open world games with characters that look a lot more realistic and not once was I bothered by that. In fact I find them more relate-able.
thank like @pepperjax1230 said go play Second Life or IMVU if you want "Realstic" sims. Or better yet get off your computer and head into Real Life deal with "Real Life"
What is wrong with wanting realistic sims.With the right style they can look stunning.
There isn’t anything wrong with realistic in games that are meant to be and look that way I prefer the sims not to. I can make my sims stunning with CC.
But the sims were never meant to have a pacific style .In Sims 3 it look more realistic,and 4 more cartoony.In Medivil they look stunning.
I agree that Sims Medieval Sims are stunning and Sims 3 Sims are to but mine always looked the same?

Anyhow, I would like to re-direct the focus of this post. The sims 5 should be different and needs a strong selling feature. Open world is in huge demand and so is Create-A-Style. Create a style especially is essential. The loss of the ability to be creative and have total control over our designs was a really unfavorable choice. It feels more like we are not creators and rather, we are controlled by limitations.
Is that all you seriously care about not everyone can buy a new computer to run open world games the sims should not be one of those games that requires you to have the best computer to run it. I have a good computer and the sims 3 was terrible on it. I can play it but I rather have a game that is optimized really well for a better performance. For example I am playing Cities Skylines which isn’t optimized very well and they keep adding EP that’s fine but it’s not running good and it freezes. So telling people they have to buy a new computer for the Sims is insulting to some because it’s meant to run on computers that aren’t the best but can run the game.
Is that all I seriously care about? No . I care about immersion. I care about realistic gameplay. I care about a game that becomes better and more advanced with each generation.Not remaining stagnant.
Your whole entire attitude needs to be thrown in the garbage. It stinks and its trash. Conduct your conversation in a manner, where you're not antagonizing me. Because seriously Im really not the one. If you are going to be a total schmuck about it, dont bother engaging in feedback threads. Because your whole entire approach is disrespectful and im not here for it.
Furthermore, is all you care about your weak computer and having the game be as childish and condensed as possible?
I don’t have a weak computer it runs games I’m interested in fine. There is a line between realistic and cartoony. So you are saying you want to look st sims that look like Battlefront people that show the age and all the things that come with life? This game is an escape for most people from life making them as realistic as possible to look like actual people isn’t a game I want to use for escaping from life. Yes I want the game to improve but not in the way you want. I use the game as my platform for being creative and telling stories and just getting lost in my sims lives for awhile because it’s not life it’s a game. Also your attitude towards my opinions is uncalled for I’m stating my opinions in the post if you can’t handle them don’t respond back.
